Day 9 Tim and Tanaya left us, and we were on our own.
We decided with one day left in Costa Rica, we should do something cool.
So we booked an adventure to go white water rafting!
They picked us up from our hotel at 6:30 in the morning,
we picked up other people and then drove out to the countryside for breakfast.
Gorgeous.
Then of course, to the river!
We rafted down the Pacuare River with two other people who only spoke Spanish.
I got a kick out of our guide would say everything in English, and then in Spanish.
"Forward- Adalante! Stop- Alto!"
He said "Get down" a lot too... but I don't remember the Spanish equivalent
because every time he said that, I was worried about being flung out of the raft and dying!
*no, not dramatic at all*
We hit some pretty good rapids... a lot of class 3's and some class 4's.
The class 4's were ridiculously huge.
I will never go on a class 5 river!
The kayak-ers took some good pics of us on the river...
but they wanted $30 for the cd!
No bueno.
SOO you get our so-so pictures with our underwater camera :)
The scenery was ridiculously beautiful. Cruising through the middle of a rainforest.
Waterfalls everywhere.
The run was 3.5 hours long!
Our bums were SO sore by the end!
It was so fun though... I'm glad we went.
The next morning we flew out of Costa Rica :(
And made it back into the good ol' US of A.
Good times were definitely had all around.
Long live Costa Rica!
